Dr. Kym Orsetti Furney was a 34-year-old physician, specializing in Internal Medicine, busy with her exciting job and enjoying life with her husband and young daughter in 2000, when she suddenly began to experience dizziness repeatedly, which rapidly led to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Her world was rocked for a time, but Furney has recovered from the shock and--empowered by information, acceptance and support--continues working as a doctor, teaching, and taking care of her family, despite the challenges of MS. For all people dealing with a personal or family diagnosis, her talk can offer help, hope, and insights. She will discuss key medical aspects of the illness while touching on the psychological aspects of living with a chronic disease. Furney's talk is not only intended to empower people newly diagnosed with MS, but can also give family members insight into the physical and emotional challenges for their loved one. The talk can also be valuable for healthcare professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists, physical and occupational therapists.
